Re[2]: Filtering on cc: field
Ming-Li and Thomas, Thank you both for your various comments. I'm not sure yet which if either of you understood or misunderstood my request, because I haven't had a second to sit down and get into your responses in any depth. I'll probably do it tonight, and post back tomorrow. -- JN Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Filtering on cc: field
Is it correct that there is no way to filter on the cc: field? (For example, to archive mail in which 'A' is in the TO: field and there are no CC: recipients, but not to archive mail in which 'A' is in the CC: field or there are other CC: recipients.) -- JN Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

No, this is not correct, and yes, you can do it. ;-) It involves a regex though. Let me guess (untested): ^TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Presence: Yes Location: Kludges There is also a way to allow zero to many characters between the TO and your address (in case your address is in the TO line, but it is the second of two). But that's beyond me. Under the Advanced tab, check [X] Regular Expressions. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste. On a Korean kitchen knife...

It tests the presence of the a certain address appearing in the TO field, but doesn't preclude those with CC recipients. For that purpose, a second condition has to be added: ^CC Presence: No Location: Kludges -- Best regards, Ming-Li The Bat! 1.62 Beta/17 | WinXP SP-1 Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

It might well be me, but I'm not ready to concede yet. :-) Quoting from the original message which started this thread: to archive mail in which 'A' is in the TO: field and there are no CC: recipients, but not to archive mail in which 'A' is in the CC: field or there are other CC: recipients. See? What he wanted to exclude (not triggering the filter) are: 1. A in TO but there are CC recipients. 2. A in CC.
